switchblade your ideas

I have been recently looking for new built or under construction planes. I was looking around for a few hours when i found pictures of a plane called
a Switchblade. I just wanted to know if anyone has any ideas about weather or not it's real or weather it's fake.

what would the dimensions of such an aircraft be?...By looking at the sketches it seems to be of the B-1b size , however that would severely impede
manuverability.....but I love the swing wing design, absoultely outve science fiction...!!

First i would like to say thanks for everyone that has helped me out. Secondly is it possible that the govrnment has made a switchblade but is keeping
it a secret. So if we actually get into world war 3 we will have a secret weapon.

I would think if we had a black switchblade plane the patent would never see the light of day. Theres work being done into morphing aircraft but with
shape shifting materials that could change everything from the wings to intakes or even the fuelsalage.

Although I have gladly provided links in the past to those curious about the "Swtchblade" - I am beyond skeptical that this plane actually exists.

The plane is obviously a stealth design and yet the swing wing concept, especially in the configuration that the patent graphics depict, would present
major design problems in keeping the airframe stealthy during the wing transition.

Also in response to one poster on this thread - there is simply no data or even credible rumors supporting the assertion that the F-14 can go Mach 3
or the SR-71 can go Mach 5... Thats way beyond the realm of believeability.
